Just to clarify, since I keep having to re-re-re-explain: The problem isn't that this or that weapon is too powerful, or has too much range. The problem, is that the maps are small. So if you use a weapon that they designed to have a range x you can hit pretty much anything on that map. Now, x is reached by some hand cannons(IF you have the option to and utilize a perk) the non-bullet hose AR's, sniper scout and pulse rifles. This leads to nobody being able to really justify using pulse rifles or scout rifles. Not versatile enough, or lacking stopping power depending on which. It also leads to people that want to camp out with a sniper getting owned. Bungie wants to increase the variance of weapons one may encounter. That in and of itself is a good thing, fine. However, the proper way to do that isn't make entire classes of weapons less effective so people will bother to look at other classes. Put maps in playlists where they'll be tactically viable! Buffing a weapon or class of weapon that they've underdeveloped would be one thing. But to instead force everyone to adopt new weapons to achieve the same effects due to shortsighted map design is lazy game management that appeals to the worst of a player base and punishes the rest.
